Just as she was thinking, Xie Chang Wu below the stage spoke out, "Eldest Brother, this … One fear is not good."
"What is not good?" Xie Jing Xing glanced at Shen Miao and then looked at Xie Chang Wu before suddenly smiling, "Or do you think that Shen Miao is more challenging than this Marquis?"
With a 'huff' sound, everyone below the stage laughed.
Xie Jing Xing continued to size up Shen Miao, "No internal energy and no martial arts but you challenged her to archery. You are also a martial arts practitioner and challenging a female who does not even have the strength to truss a chicken, this Older Brother is unable to understand." His lips suddenly hooked up into a smile and his voice was low and magnetic, "But this little girl's looks are not bad. If you are to pick based on looks, it is worthy of the name."
This time, those youths who were pulling their lips started to laugh and some of them even looked at Shen Miao ambiguously. Indeed, now that Shen Miao had shed that layer of stupid image, her entire facial features seemed to be glowing. She was born to be not bad and had a lovable and adorable appearance but was extremely quiet. This kind of contrast made one unable to move their eyes away. It was just that her previous image was too stubborn and one could not change it in a short period of time. But Xie Jing Xing's words seemed to have lifted that layer of paper and the youths did not hesitate to agree that Shen Miao was a very special little beauty.
The females however were not happy. Xie Jing Xing's words were clearly praising Shen Miao's looks. Shen Yue's and Shen Qing's expressions changed. Even though they admired Fu Xiu Yi, there were so many handsome males in the world and there was not only one Fu Xiu Yi. A youth like Xie Jing Xing was unique in the Ding capital and even in the entire Ming Qi. This kind of youth actually praised that idiot, which made Shen Yue and Shen Qing, who had high self-esteem, extremely jealous.
Yi Pei Lan frowned and muttered, "Is Little Xie Marquis blind? How could he think that Shen Miao is good looking?"
"It must be that Shen Miao used some method to confuse him." Bai Wei bit her lips and stared at the youth on the stage, "Shen Miao is really shameless. Previously she kept pestering Prince Ding and now she came to pester Little Xie Marquis."
Shen Miao did not know of their discussions but even if she knew, she would just laugh it off. Because she knew that Xie Jing Xing's motive for saying these words was not to tease her, nor was it to help her out, but to use a method that the two Xie brothers could not refuse, to force them to go on stage.
In all fairness, the two Xie brothers were naturally not willing to go against Xie Jing Xing. Not mentioning the outcome, Xie Ding had always doted on the Di sons and if a Shu son and a Di son were to challenge each other on the academy examination stage, what would Xie Ding think? He would only think that the brothers were not on good terms. The biased Xie Ding would definitely be unhappy with the two brothers.
Therefore Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao would definitely think of ways to decline but Xie Jing Xing was a clever person and did not force them and directly goaded them.
Yes, it was too strange that Xie Chang Wu was unwilling to challenge Xie Jing Xing but wanted to challenge Shen Miao who did not have the strength to fend off a chicken. His selfishness was clearly displayed in front of everyone.
In order to dispel everyone's thoughts and to prove that he was not trying to climb up the Cai family, Xie Chang Wu could only go on stage himself and compete with Xie Jing Xing. This was a helpless move but after he agreed, his plan to use Shen Miao to climb up the Cai family would fall through and he would lose.
He braced himself to get up, "Since Older Brother has spoken, how can this Younger Brother not follow."
How would Xie Jing Xing give him a chance to complain? On the battlefield, whoever he wanted to lose, he would lose without mercy.
"One person is not enough." He raised his eyebrows, "Third Younger Brother, come up together."
